The answer will vary from one country to another. It will also vary from one police authority to another, and over time.

Then there is the question of what constitutes violent crimes. Police forces do not all use the same criteria. Further, not all violent crimes are reported.

So the best that you can hope for, for a specific area over a specific time period, is a percentage of crimes that are considered violent by the authorities and which are reported for which no arrest is made. There is the further complication that the police may know the guilty party but there is insufficient evidence for any kind of prosecution.

So what will the percentage tell you?

What is the major crime least likely to lead to arrest in the US?

Since statistics can't be compiled if the crimes are not reported, there isn't a way to know definitively what the most unreported crime is or which is least likely to lead to an arrest. Any crime that goes unreported is not likely to lead to an arrest. I would suggest that the most serious of those are assaults, especially domestic incidents and child abuse, and even some homicides that result from it. If a crime is reported and the probable cause exists, then an arrest will be made.
